MONTCLAIR — Authorities are searching for suspects involved in burglary at a township home where two gold bars were reportedly stolen, among other valuables, Montclair police said today.

Also reported stolen from a residence on the 100 block of Gates Avenue were a German Luger handgun, Rolex watch and commemorative coin collection, according to Det. Lt. Angel Roman Jr.

The gold bars were valued at an estimated $20,000 total, according to Det. Chris Barnes.

The burglars took the entire two foot-by-two foot heavy safe and there was no indication they forced it open inside the home. The safe was apparently dragged out of the first floor, causing heavy damage, police said.

Police responded to the scene around 7:30 p.m. last Monday after the victims returned from a weekend away and discovered their front door broken and their home burglarized, according to Roman.

A blue 2002 Audi S4 was also stolen from the drive way and keys to two other vehicles — another Audi and a Corvette — were missing from the home but the vehicles had not been stolen, police said.
